Mitt Romney Columns on Townhall

Usually after a presidential debate, both sides spin the results. But
after the first face-off between President Obama and challenger Mitt
Romney, Obama's exasperated handlers made no such effort. How could they
when most opinion polls revealed that two-thirds of viewers thought Obama
clearly lost?

WASHINGTON -- Well, apparently I am not crazy after all. The polls have
caught up with me, and they--apres le debat--are coming around to my point of
view. Governor Mitt Romney is ahead in the race for the White House, and he
will probably be residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2013.

On Monday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney delivered a foreign policy speech to cadets at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va. He was correct in his indictment of the Obama administration for its numerous failures -- especially in the Middle East

Liberal racism sightings have become like a lunatic's version of "Where's Waldo?" Kevin Baker of Harper's magazine says Romney's referring to his "five boys" in last week's debate was how he "slyly found a way" to call Obama a "boy." Says Baker: "How the right's hard-core racists must have howled at that!"

In last week’s presidential debate on domestic policy, the contrast between President Obama and Governor Romney was sharp. While the debate did not touch on foreign policy, the contrast between the two candidates there is equally clear.

During last week's presidential debate, Mitt Romney repeatedly
promised to "lower taxes on middle-income families" without reducing "the
share paid by high-income individuals." But this combination will prove
difficult, if not impossible, for the Republican candidate to deliver
given the other elements of his tax reform plan -- especially his
illogical definition of "middle-income families."

In the four decades since Roe v. Wade first opened wide the floodgates of abortion in America, those of us fighting to protect the unborn and their mothers have had, unfortunately, no shortage of public relations gaffes and poor explanations for the greater public.

The more Romney talks these days the better he sounds. While it may seem counter intuitive with less than a month to go until election day, Romney has finally found his voice in this presidential campaign and a backbone to support it.

PARIS -- America has collective attention deficit disorder, and in one way
it's a bigger threat than terrorism, cybersecurity dangers and the
never-ending Middle East drama: Those other problems at least have the
potential to be solved.

As future generations of Americans look back at the Obama years, perhaps as they search for some sort of explanation for why so many of them are living in huts and paying a 70% income tax rate when the country used to be so rich.

As Mitt Romney campaigns on the promise to repeal Obamacare, some Republicans on Capitol Hill are trying to learn more about what the national health care law will actually do when it is fully implemented in 2014. Romney would do well to take a look at what they've discovered.

The Romney campaign scored a sorely needed victory and a jolt of energy last Wednesday night, and many election watchers, including many Townhall readers earnestly hope that this will have some staying power.

The emperor wears no clothes. The bloom is off the rose. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Pardon the barrage of stale metaphors, but it’s difficult to put into words the utter pasting Mitt Romney put on Barack Obama last week.

Can there be political bubbles like financial bubbles? Financial bubbles, inflated by hopes and dreams, burst when reality negates any possibility that those hopes and dreams will be realized. At that point, sky high stock or bond or real estate prices come crashing down to earth.
